I would like to play with Ultrix too. I tried to install it some time
ago and didn't succeed (no docs, a probably corrupted media image...).
Are there viable media available somewhere? Docs?
I have tape images for Ultrix/VAX v4.0. I have a physical CD for it
as well, but possibly a later release, as well as one for MIPS, but
I've
not yet imaged them. I don't recall their release numbers because I
haven't seen them in probably fifteen years, but I know what box
they're
in. I will try to dig them up soon.
Docs...It's BSD UNIX, man!
Yet the package management is partially SysV. ;)
Package management?!
By package management I mean: "using setld to install packages from tape".
Oh wow, good old setld. Yes, I do remember that. It's so primitive
that I didn't even think of it as "package management" in today's
terms.
I don't blame you. ;)
Wait a minute. Was setld present in any SysV implementations?
It was present in the x86 build of SVR4 iirc. I'd need to consult my disk image
(http://gewt.net/sysv.img).
(Seriously, I ran Ultrix on my desktop for years, didn't even know it
HAD package management...I built everything from source.)
Like a real UNIX user! :)
Well yes. ;) Thank you. ;)
Welcome! ;)
